1.      There have been many postings, from many people, about these 
points.  There is no need to respond to this query because

                 a) these issues have nothing to do with him in particular, and

                 b) the explanations have been posted many times.

         Anyone who wishes to learn those details is encouraged to review 
the working group archive.

2.      I also must note some concern over the style of criticisms being 
lodged against the some participants in the working group.

         I have always been taught that Asians have a much better 
appreciation for personal politeness than do Americans.  And my direct 
experience has almost always matched that.  In this forum, however, there 
has been a large number of vigorous, ad hominem attacks coming from some 
Asian participants.  Perhaps there are subtleties to the cultural norms 
that I am missing, but public abuse of people is not acceptable in the IETF 
even from us crude Americans.

         Those engaging in personal attacks damage themselves and their 
point of view.

         Further pursuit of ad hominem criticisms is worthy of 
banishment.  We need to ignore postings from people who make these issues 
personal.

3.      We are also seeing challenges to IETF working group process that 
demonstrate a clear lack of understanding of working group management 
requirements and IETF process rules.

         We need to simply refer posters who demonstrate such failings to 
the considerable IETF documentation on these matters, rather than try to 
educate them online.  Such efforts participate in a denial of service 
attack on the working group.
